CONFIRMATION BIAS CHECK

I've always found it interesting that many non-Christians think they know or understand the Bible better than Christians. Particularly since nonbelievers don't believe they're rewarded for knowing Scripture, whereas Christians have heaven to obtain and hell to avoid by reading it.

Who should we assume will read it more? The man that does it just to win debates, or the one that believes he'll live forever if he does, or burn forever if he doesn't? (rhetorical)

I believe many atheists, regardless if they were once Christian, simply look for things they disagree with, or hope to disagree with. They don't read the Bible for themselves. They read what others tell them is wrong about it.

I would like each of you to tell me three things that you believe the Bible does right, and then three positive things about Christianity.

This should be difficult or perhaps impossible if you are heavily based.
